Grilled Graindorge Camembert Fondue

A round of melted, oozing Camembert is the perfect way to start off Indian Summer evenings when you can still eat and entertain outside. Calvados, an apple brandy from Normandy, helps stabilize the cheese when melted and keeps the curds from curdling. Graindorge is the only producer of Camembert with Calvados that adds Calvados directly into its cheese.

  • 1 250 g wheel of E. Graindorge Camembert with Calvados
  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • Remove Camembert from box and unwrap.
  • Soak box in water for up to 1 hour.
